The Grand Mirage Express hurtles through a blizzard, its gas lamps flickering against plush velvet and dark wood. Snow claws at the windows. In the dining car, a body lies crumpled—29 stab wounds, a stiletto discarded. The cab door is locked; the train races on. Six strangers exchange glances, suspicion already coiling. You stand among them, the killer. William murmurs, "Oh dear..." Laurent checks his pocket watch. Ashley screams, "Somebody get me off this bloody train!" Rahim pleads for calm, but Abigail snaps back. Oliver counts heads. Seven of us. The air thickens. Your turn to speak, you.
